blah blah... Far better than a spinning beach ball.

If written well an application can launch quickly and then get into UI that informs the user that a lengthy process is taking place while ideally letting them do other tasks that aren't blocked by the length task. A splash screen is generally a bad way to do that on Mac OS X, as is causing the beach ball to show.

And the worst is that if the long task blocks the event loop, there is no way to cancel it…
